I just realized this may not be new to you but it's new to me so hopefully someone else thinks it's cool and hasn't heard of it yet! Or I'll feel like a turd.
TELL MEH AM NOT A TURD!

My original pic from 2 yrs ago maybe, probably. Not the original original one, I think it's lightened in PS but my hair really was that awesome (toots own holographic horn)

and I pixlromatic-d that sucker

Oh hey sparkles!

My douchebag starbucks icon pic from the far right pixlromatic'd. (Looking at my preview I was wrong, this was taken right after that pic, same settings though, stillllll douchey lookin')

Okay those ones were already Hipstamatic-d so they looked awesome to begin with, but LOOK HOW MUCH MORE AWESOME THEY ARE.

Fake stuff wins.

My family in 1988

My familly in 1988, PIXLROMATIC-D

I'm the problem-looking child in the middle, obviously.

Can't remember what the original for this one was, it's lost in my phone but it looks flippin sweet.

Okay the colouring is sweet, but my face looks all rawrrrrr. I mostly just wanted to show facebook my haircut at the time but couldn't take a serious picture.

My broken Kindle still broken. But it hurts a little less looking at this!

My cat cleaning herself

And the magic

Okay I'll stop now so I don't use up all my picture space but you get the point.

It makes stuff neat.

Use them with Hipstamic pics and they look neater. If you don't already have Hipstamatic, my heart cries for you :)

It does stuff like this

PICTURE BONER

I'll do a post of my favourite Hipstamatic pics some other time. That one right there being numero uno I took of a carnival thing up in Gimli. Sure it's not makeup but it looks cool and who doesn't like looking at cool stuff?!?

I took a trip to Sephora today because I got an email informing me of a sale. SALE PEOPLE! This doesn't happen ever. Sure there's the Friend+Family thing but being Canadian, we don't get included so it's full price everything including the inflated prices all the time (go ahead, make a cart and check out "Canadian" to see what I mean...)
So 15% isn't much of a sale, I basically saved on the sales/provincial tax but it's better than nothin' so I'll take it!

Apparently the colour theme this year according to Pantone is Tangerine Tango, which means a whooooole lotta orange/coral/tangerine etc.

First of though, check out the obsessive amount yet very awesome looking packaging

And the back with info if you're so inclined...

Then you slide the lid of and get this...

Then you look at it for about 3 minutes trying to figure out how to get the clear plastic off on the front and then realize evetually to just pull it off. Then add another 3 minutes to try to pry the compacts out of their tight little home and you get these:

I think they should be named the other way around because Coral sounds plain but whatever dude.
They do more blah blah blahs on the website but my attention span is nil right now because I'm too distracted with all the pretty. I see orange, lots of words, would rather look at the orange.

What it does:This revolutionary blush combines all the
best features of baked, powder, and cream formulas, releasing perfect
color and a texture that lays on cheeks like a second skin. Easily
blendable and buildable without being powdery, this unique blush leaves
an unbelievably polished finish. The warm shade, Apricot Brandy (PANTONE
#17-1540), was inspired by the Color of the Year, Tangerine Tango, and
will light up the apples of your cheeks with a spirited glow

This blush was kind of a pain in the ass at first. It has a bit of a shell on top liked baked blushes and eyeshadows have so you need to rub it off before any colour will show up.
I'm not sure that's what they meant when they said "best features of baked,.." THAT'S A SHIT FEATURE, SAYS ME!

The 3rd pic is what it will look like after you get your rub-action on.

And up next the swatches!

I suck at blush swatches which is why this post is 90% product pics and .00076% swatch (I R GUD AT MATHS)

So here is my attempt at blush swatches! Done over a moisturized arm that sat for a bit. I tried them over a dry arm but they weren't showing up for the camera very well so I said SCREW IT I WANT COLOUR!! And yeah. The end. Got colour. SEEEEE

Well this one is dry arm..

Boring

MOARRRRR COLOUR!

oOo pretty.

I love the middle one the best. It reminds me of a powder version on Tarte for Trueblood's Cheek Stain mixed with NARS Orgasm.

The Blush Duo is $31CDN and the Prisma Chrome blush is $19CDN.

I think this will be all I get from the Pantone Universe line. I'm not sure I'd wear the other stuff.

Oh and the duo compact is nifty but I'm not sure I like that it's just a magnet plate holding the lid on. I don't think I'd bring this on a plane in my traincase incase it shuffles around and pops off.

I tried to re-create a super pretty look done by this blogger here.
It was HARD! Hard because I've never tried this colour placement and I'm used to packing colours on but this look was more soft and blendy. I'm not good at blendy :(

I really liked the pink with the white/cream coloured lid shade and I had to try it.

The picture differences was me using 2 different cameras to try to show the colours better but not having much luck. It looked better in real life but nowhere near as kickass as the original. Seriously, did she do awesome or what!? I love it! I will definitely do this look again.

Meh, I just wanted the alliteration in the title, I don't find anything terrifying in this look. I actually LUUUUV IT!

There are a few colour combos that I see out there that I love every single time. A bright turquoise shadow with a brown crease is probably my favourite.
